Demonstrations of Mainframe Subsystem Support

We provide a number of demonstration programs designed to help you to better understand some of the concepts involved when developing Mainframe Subsystem Applications.

The following demonstrations are supplied:

Assembler - ACCT Demo

AACT is a sample CICS 3270 transaction that comprises several Assembler programs and a single BMS map, and uses the resource definitions in the file dfhdrdat. A tutorial,
Tutorial: Assembler in the
Getting Started section of your product Help shows you how to implement and test the AACT transaction.

Assembler - QSAM Demo

Shows you how to work with QSAM files.

Assembler - VSAM Demo

Shows you how to work with VSAM files.

CICS Classic - ACCT Demo

Shows you how to run and debug an Eclipse project for CICS on an Enterprise Server instance.

CICS Classic - ACCTCLNT Demo

Shows how you can run and debug a Mainframe Subsystem project for CICS as an HTTP client on an Enterprise Server instance. The demonstration is also used by a tutorial in your product help, which contains further detail about the setup of an enterprise server and a COBOL project.

CICS Classic - ACCTWEB Demo

Shows how to build and run the Web-enabled version of the sample transaction ACCT.

CICS Classic - CLUSTER Demo

Shows how to JCL jobs with shared datasets (catalog and spool shared by multiple servers) in an enterprise server maintaining the dataset integrity.

CICS Classic - CTGDEMO Demo

Shows how to run and debug CTG client and server programs.

Data Tools Demo

Shows how to work with data files in the Data File Tools utility.

HCO for DB2 LUW - Getting Started

Shows how to use the Host Compatibility Option.

HCOSS Eclipse - Function Emulation

Shows how to add some maths functions that emulate standard maths functions in DB2 to the SQL server.

Shows how to use HCOSS to switch package sets and alternate fetching data using a single cursor name. Also shows how to bind the application using the HCOSS Manage Packages and Plans tool.

IMS - Installation Verification Program

Shows how to configure an enterprise server to run IMS applications, and then build and run an IMS application. It also demonstrates the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) to confirm that the IMS support is correctly installed.

JCL - Classic JCL Demo

Shows how to create a JCL application and then run it on an enterprise server.

JCL - Examples

Includes a number of additional files that demonstrate JCL functionality. For more details, see the comments in the code.
